MENU: 5/22/14 - 5/28/14

We ate two new things that weren't on the menu last week. One was the clam chowder that Tim made with fresh clams he'd caught with the kids, though I'm not sure what recipe he used, and the other was pumpkin pasties that Silas made. Both were excellent!

BREAKFASTS
* doughnuts (we have these at church, though we usually have some dry roasted almonds, fruit, and/or cottage cheese at home or on the road first)
* oatmeal with brown sugar, cinnamon, milk, peanut butter, maple almond butter, raisins, dried cranberries, fruit, huh-koe-pee milk, and/or energy mix as optional toppings
     - yogurt, fruit, & spinach smoothies x2
     - cottage cheese & fruit x1
* egg, potato, & spinach scramble x2
* blueberry sour cream pancakes

SCHOOL DAY LUNCHES
* meat and cheese sandwiches/mandarins/pea pods
* crockpot beans & rice/tomatoes/olives
* pbj&b wrap/yellow bell pepper/carrots/pretzels
* yogurt streusel muffins/applesauce/homemade trail mix

DINNERS

* leftovers

* tacos (seasoned meat and crockpot beans from the freezer) 

* baked potatoes with sour cream, cottage cheese, cheddar, chives (from the yard), butter, salt, & pepper as optional toppings (we skipped this last week because of the unplanned clam chowder)

* zesty chicken (crockpot)/rice/roasted cabbage with lemon

SNACKS & DESSERTS

* produce

* nuts - pistachios & dry roasted almonds

* popcorn (kernels from the Winco bulk department & a West Bend Stir Crazy to pop them in)

* apple pie with filling a friend made and homemade crust/vanilla ice cream (didn't do this last time because Silas ended up making pasties ... hoping the third consecutive time on the menu will be the charm)
